All of Incarnate Forme Landorus Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness in Pokemon GO

As you plan your raid team to take on Incarnate Forme Landorus, it’s important to keep type strengths and weaknesses in mind. Incarnate Forme Landorus is a dual Ground- and Flying-type Pokemon, and it’s bringing some powerful ground-type moves into Raid Battles. It can also show up with the Fighting-type move Focus Blast or the Dragon-Type Outrage.

For that reason, you’ll want to bring in strong Ice- or Water-type Pokemon to exploit its weaknesses while backlining Ground, Poison, Fighting, Electric, and Bug Pokemon.

While it is possible to beat Incarnate Forme Landorus with just 2 trainers if you bring the right Pokemon, we generally recommend a team of at least 3 to ensure you’ll have the fighting power to beat this Pokemon. If you have a few lower-level trainers in the mix, you’ll want more people on the team to ensure you can take down Landorus within the time limit.

Since Landorus generally has a CP of around 2500–3500 in these raids, you’ll want to bring Pokemon with at least a 3500 CP into the battle if you can; the higher, the better. Gather your best Ice-type Pokemon and a few fellow trainers, and best of luck out there!
